Wilmington, NC -- October 2012 marked the release of new jazz saxophone CD Closer Than I Realized. Closer Than I Realized is a 10 track sophomore CD release of Darryl Donnell Murrill. The CD is comprised of mostly instrumental songs with some background vocals and a lot of saxophone color. Murrill's inspiration for the new jazz saxophone CD is his knowledge of God's ever present love and mighty hand through the storms and trials of life. This new CD has track titles like New Season, Beautiful Jesus and John 15 which are evident of that divine influence.

Closer than I Realized has a full band sound complete with drums, keyboard, guitar, as well as auxiliary sounds. Two specific tracks have a guitar lead. Throughout this jazz instrumental project Darryl Donnell Murrill incorporates his saxophone instrumental lead along with saxophone accompaniment. This gospel jazz album can be found on iTunes, cdbaby, and Amazon.

The issue of racial profiling in retail stores gained attention nationally with the production of ABC’s “True Colors,” a series which brought to light retail discrimination and racist policies that singled out African-American consumers. As consumers, many African-Americans have been perceived as potential shoplifters. The presence of African-Americans within the retail setting incites many employees immediately to go into loss prevention mode. According to Myiah Shows, a former Wet Seal employee and fourth-year allied health student at Florida A&M University, “When it came to customers, there were just certain things we as employees were taught to look out for. If you were black it was definitely taken into consideration.”
